In order to maintain compliance with NIH and NSF requirements, USM conducts a mandatory Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) in-person training twice a year, typically in the Spring and Fall semesters.
These in-person training sessions will be a total of four hours and must be completed in conjunction with the CITI RCR training module.
The following grant personnel must attend one of these training sessions every four years:
- For NIH grants: Any "trainees, fellows, participants, and scholars" receiving support through any NIH training, career development award (individual or institutional), research education grant, and dissertation research grant Please note this RCR training requirement only applies to the following NIH projects: D43, D71, F05, F30, F31, F32, F33, F34, F37, F38, K01, K02, K05, K07, K08, K12, K18, K22, K23, K24, K25, K26, K30, K99/R00, KL1, KL2, R25, R36, T15, T32, T34, T35, T36, T37, T90/R90, TL1, TU2, and U2R programs, or where the funding opportunity announcement states instruction in RCR is required.
